Bucky Larson: 7.5/10
I was fully expecting this movie to be atrocious, but it was actually pretty funny. |
Ides of March 5/10. Just didn't click for me. Started decent but just went to boring places. Didn't care about any of the characters either.

Traffic - 6/10
Didn't care about Benicio's story, was sort of interested in Cheadle's story, very interested in Douglas' story. The Punisher - 6/10 |

Some funny parts involving Alan, but the rest was meh. |

Story was dumb and didn't really lead to anything interesting. It was nice to look at Amanda Seyfried for a couple of hours. |

-37/10 I cant begin to even compose my thoughts on how awful it was. |
Chronicle:
I'll give a solid 7.5-8 out of 10. I know that the "found footage" thing is getting a bit tired at this point and some of the camera angles in this particular movie were a little fucking convenient, but overall... Solid Superhero flick. Much more character development than I thought there would be. Many parallels to Star Wars also, actually (Light side/Dark side. Emotions, blah blah). Acting was good, although the kid that played Andrew was trying a bit too hard to act like a raving lunatic towards the end there which made it feel a bit superficial. Good movie though. :) |
Real Steel: 8/10
|
Moneyball - 9/10
|
Take Shelter - Good, works as both subtext for the collapse of the United States as well as just a movie about mental illness. 8/10
Martha Marcy May Marlene - 7/10 Ides of March - Lame, so many interesting things going on politically and this was all they could come up with, feels like a movie my mom might like. Didn't buy that Gosling is suppose to be this big political aide yet he's so naive. |
Drive - 9.5/10
Loved it. |
Star Trek - 4 out of 5
Felt a bit slow at times but pretty good overall. |
The Panic In Needle Park - 7/10
Al Pacino plays Bobby, a young heroin addict who introduces his drug-free girlfriend (Kitty Winn) to New York's "Needle Park." But in this sordid world peopled with addicts who lie, cheat and steal their way to their next fix, will Bobby feel any guilt for corrupting a pure soul? Bully - 7/10 Bobby (Nick Stahl) takes great joy in bossing around and beating up his best friend, slovenly ex-surfer Marty (Brad Renfro). But when Marty's girlfriend (Rachel Miner) witnesses one too many of these incidents, she vows to kill Bobby, enlisting her friends -- and a hit man -- to help. From controversial director Larry Clark (Kids), this unsettling drama is based on a true crime. Johnny Suede 6/10 Wannabe rock star Johnny Suede (Brad Pitt) learns there's more to life than a guitar and a big pompadour in this bittersweet drama. House painter Johnny hopes to become a star like his idol, Ricky Nelson. He falls hard for Darlette (Alison Moir), who has record industry connections, but she hits the high road when Johnny's career hits the skids. Crushed, Johnny then meets Yvonne (Catherine Keener), who helps him realize what's important in life. |

Jesus camp- documentary about pentacostals indictrinating kids for the Republican party. 7/10
Fir the Bible tells.me so- a documentary that gets across the fact that you'd. Have to twist Biblical context to think the homosexuality they talk about in the Bible is the same as the loving realationships we see today. For instance sodom and gommorah had passed an antihospitality law where foreigners ( who Jews were called to be especially kind to) weren't allowed in the city. The punishment was usually gang rape. Yeahhhhh... 9/10 |
Drive - 9/10
really enjoyed it, and I have a bit of a crush on Carey Mulligan |
Hugo in 3D - 10/10
It works on so many different levels, but ultimately, I haven't felt that happy after watching a movie in really long time. Maybe my favorite movie of the last few years. :'( |
Taxi Driver - 7/10
I think this is very overrated. It's one of those films where people say "You haven't seen Taxi Driver before?" and when I finally watched it I was not really that impressed and got bored with it at times. |
Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance-1/10. Just drop dead awful.
|
Project X - 4/10
Today's Special - 8/10 Punch-Drunk Love - 7/10 Meeting New People is Easy - 5/10 |
The Woman in Black -7/10.. Considering it's production is Hammer Films notoriously famous for all those Christopher Lee/Cushing vamp flicks in the 60s. Sad ending.. This is Daniel's first non-Harry Potteresque role.. Don't expect Bellatrix Lestrange to be the death-eater on this one. :P

This Kiss - 0/10
Mind-numbingly dull. No real camerawork, soundtrack, acting, characters, or story. I'm sure it won plenty of awards for being about lesbians, though. |
John Carter. Avatar, Conan The Barbarian on Mars plotline anyone? Loved the funny moments when the martian alien tusked tribes keeps calling him Virginia instead of John throughout the movie. haha. 8/10.
http://iho.kz/p/572e6c516d49abb6583edfeccecdaf3d.jpeg It's really hopeless and scary when a killer is stalking you while your blindness disease is already in progress.. Guillermo Del Toro does it again. 9/10. |
Project X 4/10.............wasn't impressed...
The best thing about that movie is the camera quality....bout it |
Bitten - 2/10
the lead actor was awful awful awful and annoyed me at times in this shitty vampire flick Vampires: Out For Blood - 3/10 despite having Jodi Lynn O'Keefe, Kevin Dillon and Lance Henriksen nothing could save this god awful film avoid it like the plague |
Natural Born Killers - 7/10
Strangers On A Train - 7/10 |
Young Adult
A tough pill to swallow 7/10 |
Paranormal Activity 3 - 7/10
aside from still being pissed off that 1988 VHS cameras film in widescreen and look as good as if they were shot in digital, its kind of neat how they tied stuff together although throwing in witches makes me think they should quit while they're ahead (but they aren't, since there will be a 4th). |
The Rules of Attraction - 7/10
I enjoyed this even if it was a little weird at times James Van Der Beek's character was a little strange and different from what he usually played so that was neat to see I never would've guessed Ian Somerhalder as Paul Denton but somehow it works this was probably the only movie that was made of Bret Easton Ellis' books that was fairly close to the book |
Orphan - 8/10
Legit creepy/effective. Might have been even more so if I didn't already know the twist. |

Tin Tin: 8/10. Never read Tin Tin or know anything about the character. Thought I would check the movie out on my flight home. I went in expecting to dislike it but ended up loving it. Little long and predictable but I also found it very entertaining. Sort of an animated young Indiana jones chronicle.

watched this great French film last night called Time To Leave - 8/10 Romain, a gay 31-year-old fashion photographer, finds out he is terminally ill and has only three months to live. He rejects the treatment for his metasized tumor that might offer him a slim (less than 5%) chance of survival. Romain exhibits both a selfish and a recklessness behavior. He realizes that his good looks give him a certain amount of leeway and he tests the forbearance of the people who care for him. He chases away his lover Sasha and delights in antagonizing his sister. The only person in whom he confides about his illness is his grandmother Laura. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fNBkW1g0WhA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fNBkW1g0WhA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object> |
Battle Royale, the Director's Cut:
I was expecting it to be a bit more fucked up, since it was banned in the States for so long. As it stood, it was damned nuts. I was hoping for more exploding collar deaths, but then again, the exploding thing that's attached to you gimmick was done to death in the Condemned, truth be told. It had some fucked moments: The intro video of the rules was completely insane. The mastermind's performance was insanely over the top. The scene that was used for the one girl's back story was incredibly dark. It also had some incredible thematic elements. There was a definite anti-war theme. Who do you trust when everyone is trying to survive? Do you fight or do you give up? Do you play along or do you strike back? I've heard it referred to as the movie/novel Hunger Games ripped off, and to an extent I guess we can thank Hunger Games for the boxed set finally seeing the U.S. But I seriously recommend it. 8/10. |
Avoid the 2nd one.

In order of latest to oldest:
John Carter: 9/10, amazing visuals, and fun as hell. Decent story, I heard people saying it is confusing, it was not to me. Where the Wild Things Are: 6/10, I saw where they were going and trying to do with it, but it was so boring and slow. Clash of the Titans: 7/10 It was fun, but forgettable Hugo: 8/10, it was Oscar bait, but it was at least watchable and fun in parts. |

Dead Snow A Norwegian film based around the idea of medical students who go on Easter vacation to a cabin in the mountains. An old local warns them of a time when the Nazi's ran away from the locals at the end of WWII, with stolen valuables. The group then find a box of gold in the cabin and you can probably piece the rest of the film together from there. From my take on it, they didn't know what kind of film they were making. The first 45 minutes actually sets up a decent horror film, albeit without establishing any engaging characters. Then in the second half, it shifts to complete slapstick comedy with the characters acting incredibly nonchalantly about the idea of fighting Nazi zombies. You feel no sympathy or empathy for the characters so aren't willing any of them through the film, nor does the film have any real message within it at the beginning, middle or end. Reminded me a lot of Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland without the quality writing or comedy timing. Good soundtrack though. I give it a 4.5/10. |
Moth Diaries - Lesbo vampire chick with Twilight-ish theme of female sexuality.. 6/10.
Battle Royale 2 - Slightly better than the Hunger Games.. :p 8/10.. it felt like Call of Duty Japanese style though. Hehe. |

9/10. Lauren German (Hostel 2 heroine chick) is having a Milla Jovovich-ish look in this one. :p This is another seriously fucked up movie.. More psychological horror than just a nuclear armageddon stuff... think of it as what could've been the REAL Hunger Games. Literally. Cos people get stuck in the basement building with few food supplies and they start going insane on each other once the daughter gets kidnapped by bio suit guys that look like Fallout enemies and never heard from again. And I don't care if the ending was stupid, she did what she had to do... SPOILER: show And we get to see a little glimpse of the apocalyptic world in not just the ending but also one scene where one of them tried to go outside and it looked like one huuuuuge endless tunnel mazes covered in radioactive plastic quarantine covers ala Resident Evil style. Also, they never get to explain of how those bald human beings being stored in lab chambers.. But one thing's for sure, the bio suit guys didn't pick them to cure their radiation sickness.. Some sick-ass shit scene even had a guy going nuts and starts dressing in a woman's evening gown and starts making love to another guy telling him to suck his dick after he did the tongue licking and kissing. There's a brief rape scene with the single mom too. |
Is that English? (The review, not the film)
|
http://www.dreadcentral.com/img/reviews/evios.jpg
English. :p 8/10. Really enjoyed this although the cons I would complain is that the shaky distorted static cam couldn't get a clear shot of one of the "creatures." To me, it looked like a fucking Congo ape yet alien type of breed.. There's even one scene where the girls stumbled onto some military base with a preggie woman giving birth to this creature and it behaved like a giant worm crawler!!! Fuck... Or more likely, I call it well... SPOILER: show Stay through the end credits for another dose of shaky cam style of what the "Creatures" looked like and the so-called military experiement stuff. There's even a little bit of human zombies much like REC or Crazies going ape shit on the cam corder heroes and some even had gas masks on!! WTF?? That was intense in the final act... For a direct to video found footage movie, it really kicked my ass to the edge of the seat. I also liked one scene where the guy goes into the dark woods and sees the words embedded on each tree trunk in blood writings: "WHAT IS THAT? DID YOU SEE THAT? LISTEN." |
The Hunger Games: 7.5/10. Some of the characterizations/plotting was a bit weak, but it got me interested in the world. I'll read the books and see the sequels.

Wrath of the Titans 6/10.

Party Monster - 6/10 this is the true story of Michael Alig and the Club Kids who hung out at the nightclub Limelight in NY Macaulay Culkin did a pretty good job as Michael Alig and Wilmer Valderrama was alright as Superstar DJ Keoki Seth Green was a little annoying as James St. James Based on the book Disco Bloodbath, by James St. James, the film opens with Michael Alig (Mcaulay Culkin) as a small-town outcast who lived with his mom before moving to New York. Michael learns the New York party scene from James St. James (Green), who teaches him the "rules of fabulousness", which mostly revolve around attracting as much attention to oneself as possible. Despite James' warning, Alig hosts a party at Limelight, a local club which is owned by Peter Gatien (Dylan McDermott), and soon becomes the hottest club in New York, with Alig at the head. Alig is named "King of the Club Kids" and goes on a cross country journey in search of more club kids. Alig and James pick up Angel Melendez (Wilson Cruz), Gitsie (Chloe Sevigny), and Brooke (Natasha Lyonne). Soon after meeting, Gitsie becomes Alig's new girlfriend. However, after Michael descends further into drug abuse, his life starts to spiral out of control, eventually culminating in his involvement in the murder of Angel. Gitsie and Michael decide to go to rehab and treat it as a "Second Honeymoon", leaving James behind. James then begins to write his "Great American Novel" published as Disco Bloodbath and later as Party Monster. |
The Sorcerer's Apprentice 7/10
Admittedly it scored so high because I was expecting it to be utter shit, and it really wasn't. And because it's got Alfred Molina, who is always awesome. Actually could have been an 8 if the main character wasn't incredibly annoying. He's also a massive bitch, so when he acts all "hard" in the climax, it comes off really bad. There is some cool stuff in this movie. Fight and chase scenes are pretty cool, and a lot more intense than the harry potter crap. |
21 Jump Street
7/10 Wife made me go cause she is "featured" in the opening scene when Jonah Hill is asking the girl to prom.. My wife walks right behind him into camera when she denies him.. It had some funny parts in it.. Most entertaining part of the night was, it was opening night of The Hunting Games or whatever and there was 400 teenie boppers hanging out at the theater dressed in costumes and shit.. One chick was even dressed up like the f'n logo.. Kids these days.. :nono: |

In Time - 6/10 50/50 - 12/10. Fucking loved every minute of it. I even cried twice. The part when he's being injected with anesthesia is just terribly sad. He's worried about waking up, then his mom hugging him is fucking emotional. |

Even though it's no match for the original Wicker Man, it still manages to be watchable. The only thing new to this pagan sun worshipper ritual is instead of using the method where the police guy gets burnt inside the Wicker Man here it's something else: SPOILER: show Go see it. If you can get past the usual musical numbers with a mixture of gospel songs despite even the Wicker Man had its musical moments.. Hehhe. I like it. Also, there's one scene where the scottish media even mocked the Christian girl saying that before she was a gospel singer, they showed her OLD footage of country music video singing songs about beer, sex much like Miley Cyrus does!! Hahahhaa. The song's called, Trailer Trash Love.. LOL. 8/10. |
Last movie I saw was Wrath of the Titans in 3D.
I give it a 7/10. I loved the story and the visual effects were just amazing. Only thing I would of wanted was more action and would of loved to see more of the gods in it |
American Reunion - 7/10

God Bless America - 8/10 Fan of Bobcat's director/writer work so far, will continue to fallow. Could also see rating going up or down on next viewing of this film, which there will be as I really enjoyed it.
